Strikes and Assessments.


Said Chief Engineer Arthur, of the Brother
hood of Engineers Strikes mean assessments.
and assessments mean death TO the organiza-
ton" He right, and the course OF the
Knights of Labor has proved it. The last
Chicago strike. the Journal of that city proves
by carefully prepared statistics, inflicted loss
in wages alone upon the workingmen there OF
81. 463. 600. And another authority shows that
during the last two years, beginning with the
great railroad strike the Knights or Labor
have by their strikes caused loss of wages of
upwards of $4,000 OO The general master
workman, the executive committee, the master
workmen, the walking delegates, have lost not
cent of this, neither did they pay assess
ments to assist the losers of it. Blu: the real
workingmen have felt it. They have felt too,
the unnatural policy of the order which makes
them and their employers enemies instead of
friends; and they have grown tired of it. They
Indifferent to the order. they are leaving 1t,
and soon. between their Indifference and the an
tagonistic combinations of employers against It,
the order will have any significant,
much less dangerous existence.

Mr. Watrerson discusses Mr.. Cleveland's avail
ability for denomination with great particularly
of detail the Presidents marriage" says Mr..
Watterson, ''kuocked Maria Halpin as high a
kite" This means, of course that Mrs. Halpin
has been disposed of as feature of any sCbse-
quent campaign. To this result however, it
cannot be said that the President mas contrib
uted more than the lady in question. Her own
recent marriage has done mach as that of Mr..
Cleveland to remove her from the political field,
and hence they are both to be congratulated.

ANYTHING that he deems essential to the preser-

of the protective tariff system intact. OF course
he is. In other words. already said, he yields

The country boy is brought face to
face with practical realities. He sees
how slow money is made on the farm;
he is taught from youth up the need of
economy; he has the nature of having
everything explained to him every day

temptations of the saloon or the ball.

man before he has occasion to use the
razor on his downy cheeks. He may
lack polish, be a trihe rude, and not feel
